RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Reimagining research ethics to include environmental sustainability: a principled approach, including a case study of data-driven health research JF Journal of Medical Ethics JO J Med Ethics FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Institute of Medical Ethics SP 428 OP 433 DO 10.1136/jme-2022-108489 VO 49 IS 6 A1 Samuel, Gabrielle A1 Richie, Cristina YR 2023 UL http://jme.bmj.com/content/49/6/428.abstract AB In this paper we argue the need to reimagine research ethics frameworks to include notions of environmental sustainability. While there have long been calls for healthcare ethics frameworks and decision-making to include aspects of sustainability, less attention has focused on how research ethics frameworks could address this. To do this, we first describe the traditional approach to research ethics, which often relies on individualised notions of risk. We argue that we need to broaden this notion of individual risk to consider issues associated with environmental sustainability. This is because research is associated with carbon emissions and other environmental impacts, both of which cause climate change health hazards. We introduce how bioethics frameworks have considered notions of environmental sustainability and draw on these to help develop a framework suitable for researchers. We provide a case study of data-driven health research to apply our framework.
